Linda
Greyson, an American artist, once said, “There is nothing better than a friend,
unless it’s a friend with chocolates.”

For me, friends
are like life’s treats. They can be sweet, colorful, can make us smile, give
some tootache, can be messy sometimes, and most of all, we long for them from
time to time. Just like a bar of chocolate. Make it a Cadbury Daily Milk to be
precise.

Now, here’s
an out of this world question I love to ask my barkada the next time we meet: "If you’ll be given a chance to tour the galaxy, what kind of friends will you
bring to be part of the crew and why?"

Well, it’s a
no brainer for comic book fans like me. I’ll be bringing my barkada who I can
actually compare with Marvels’ Guardians of the Galaxy.

I have a
friend who is like Star-Lord, a chick magnet whose charm have been very useful in getting some free passes on events and
extra scoop of ice cream. If I have him
in my team in the outer space, we can sweet-talk our way out in case we meet some
alien invaders.

We also have
a Gamora who’s beauty can be deceiving. Some people thinks that she’s all good
looks but she’s actually smart and has a mean one-two punch for bad guys. She’ll
be an asset to melt the hearts of mean space dude then break their back, literally if she wishes to.

To complete
the crew, we’ll be bringing a tough guy like Drax the Destroyer to warn extra-terrestrial bullies, shape-shifter
Groot to blend and introduce us with beings outside our circle, and machines and gadget specialist Rocket who is our geek-on-stand-by case the going gets tough during battle of the brains. These guys will make us a barkada to watch out for. So don't put your guard down.

This might
be one dream that can be considered “unreachable” or “suntok sa buwan.” Speaking of going up, one activity I love to do with my family and friends that makes us feel a
step close to high heavens in going to church every Sunday.

After connecting
to tha MAN from above, we do a little bonding either going to the mall or dine
in a restaurant for some food trip bonding. One Sweet Ending we did recently
atter going to church was to share bars of our favourite chocolate. Indeed, a sweet ending with my Cadbury Batrkada!
